Synopsis

Killarious Chaos at the Green Mansion! 

“Break a leg!” takes on a whole new meaning for a woefully misguided troupe of players at the Chutney Drama Society’s opening night performance of Pachae Bungalaa, Rettae Kolaedaa. An unconscious leading lady, a corpse who can’t play dead, a ruffled detective, and a word-mangling butler (among others) must battle against technical gaffes, forgotten lines, and sabotaging scenery in a quest to arrive all in one piece at the final curtain call. Part Monty Python, part Sherlock Holmes, all mayhem, this disastrously delightful whodunit will leave you in stitches! Twin Murder in the Green Mansion is inspired by the British play, The Play That Goes Wrong.

Artist Information

Agam Theatre Lab

YouTube | Instagram | Facebook

Established in 2019 by theatremaker Subramanian Ganesh and a collective of theatre enthusiasts, Agam Theatre Lab is one of Singapore’s newest addition to the evolving landscape of homegrown theatre. Agam’s contribution to the theatre landscape includes cultivating trained theatre practitioners, showcasing high quality theatre productions and growing an audience base beyond the Tamil-speaking public. With a focus on stimulating critical thinking and inspiring constructive self-expression, Agam aspires to create a space where audiences can reflect on the world around them.

Diversity is at the heart of Agam Theatre Lab, with artists hailing from a spectrum of backgrounds— from full-time practitioners and educators to accountants, scientists, army personnel, film producers, and beyond. The company offers a haven for ‘resting’ professional actors to experiment and innovate in a nurturing environment.

Agam's commitment extends beyond the classics; the theatre lab actively supports new writing, aspiring to shine a spotlight on lesser-known playwrights. Moreover, Agam serves as a stage for its own members’ original works, with plans to publish these creations in both hard and digital formats.

A compelling vision drives Agam Theatre Lab to ensure the longevity of Singapore Tamil language theatre by providing a dynamic platform for both youth and adults to curate, market, and stage distinctive intercultural theatre content.
